Rate My Team (Part II)

[ThePezDispenser]

You could probably downgrade Knights to Kraks to free up some cash.

 

[Hird the news]

Hi Guys,

Like many i have rearranged my team a few times and pretty comfortable with it at the moment.
In the process of the changes i have taken out the likes of both riewolts, hodge, K.Jack and yes it hurts but my gut feeling says my team is better this way. Im only interested in league win.

I would appreciate any criticism/Advice

Bench: Markovic - Puopolo - Duigan

Mids: Swan - Judd - Watson - Bartel - Cotchin - I.Smith
Bench: D.Swallow - Heppell - D.Harris

Rucks: Sandilands - Ryder

[Shakermaker94]

hey guys just need some advice on my team....
not real sure on the rookies, been just looking at a few posts and sort of throwing players in there...

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, H.Shaw, Grimes, Otten, Heppel
(Stanley, Faulks, Watson)

Mids: Murphy, Pendlebury, A.Swallow, Burgoyne, D.Swallow, Polec
(Harris, Wallis,Pittard)

Rucks: Cox, Jolly
(Z.Smith, Campbell)

Forwards: Franklin, Pavlich, Rioli, Goodes, Yarran, Krakouer, Petrie
(Matera, Richardson, Darling)

I am not convinced on burgoyne, but dunno who would be a better option around his price, also im a bit wary on my forwards.... and yeh my rookies im clueless bout

 

[PooMonkey]

OK so after much deliberating...I have finally come to a decision on my final team going into round 1.

Would love some feedback guys...

Any reason why Goddard is in your midfield?

Backline looks very light. Put Goddard in your backline, downgrade one of your premium midfielders and grab a premium defender instead. You're missing out on upgrading to the best midfielders later in the season if you stack your centreline full of guns now.

Your forward line is good. Leave that alone.

Sandilands and Cox is the obvious combo. Im doing it too.

Hmm, no Nick Roo?? ok.. 3 rookie backs is a tad too many (counting Otten) Mids look ok. Cotch should have a big year although I'm hesitant in putting him in SC. Hope Smith gets game time early as he could be a handy MPP. Watson will annoy you with the last round. Plenty bench money too. Ryder could have a big one although Hird is looking at rotating the 3 big rucks fwd/ruck/sub so watch that. Fwds could be good. LeCras is frustrating. Boom or bust. Hurley likewise. He will be a premo in 1-3 years.. Looks ok

Burgoyne could be a big win for you. Seems very fit and still scored well half fit. Heath Shaw won't change his scoring habits. Mids are decent but don't be surprised if Judd and Swan outscore Murph and Pendles. Like the A Swallow call. Rucks are fine but no Sandi could work against you. Fwds look good.. you could get away with starting Richo.. well you will in rd 1 anyway lol

 

[Hot Tiges]

Now after 2 reviews.. here's mine lol

Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Duffield, Grimes, Heppell, Duigan(Lower, Toy, Populopo)

Swan, Judd, Selwood, Kennedy, D Swallow, Polec (Harris, Bewick, Hibberd)

Sandilands, Cox (Smith, Keefe)

N Reiwoldt, Franklin, Pavlich, Goodes, Veszpa/Petrie/Gamble, Richardson (Darling, Dixon, Matera)

Not 100% sure on Kennedy. Sacrificed Otten and another rookie mid (prob Atley or Conca) to move JFK in. May get Brodie smith in defence as looks the goods. Obviously still looking at that 5th fwd spot too..

Rucks solid.
Go Petrie for M5
Kennedy? what about Aaron Davey
Serviceable backline.

Good team, can't see many weaknesses.

Yeah not a bad pick. Just think he gets shut down completely some games well he did last year.. otherwise a good unique pick if he has found how to fix that.

You're missing out on upgrading to the best midfielders later in the season if you stack your centreline full of guns now.

Isnt this the point? to try and stack your side full of 'guns' as soon as possible?

FWIW, I have 4 'guns' and 5 rookies in my midfield. (with Swallow as a potential
keeper')(does Boak count as a keeper?).

 

[tubes82]

Need some advice here. Im going for a league win. I'm pretty happy with the team in general. Only thing is having Judd and Selwood both out in the finals it might be worth getting another mid in. Who should i bring in for Selwood?

Goddard, Gibbs, Delidio, Gilbee, Hurley, Otten, Toy, (Coad, Hibber, Duigan)

Swan, Judd, Selwood, Cross, Swallow, Heppell, (Prestia, Harris, Wallis)

Sandilands, Jolly (Smith, Derickx)

Riewoldt, Franklin, Pavlich, Dangerfield, Krakouer, Gamble, Richardson, (Dixon, Matera, Smith)

Any changes you can recommend? Any changes for a league win?

Should i take out Selwood because of the finals. Tough decision as i might need him in to make the finals. Which mid should i bring in for him? These bye's sure make it harder!

Also not sure on Hurley. Any better options for around the same price range?

Dont you think its better to fill the other positions with guns before your midfield?

1) You can put more midfield rookies, who generally score better than rookies in other positions in your side.

2) You can upgrade to the best possible midfield guns later in the season when you know whos dominating.

Oh yeah, thanks buddy.. Really appreciate the advice

OK, well let's try this then TigerGlory

Went for the Premiums/Rookie strategy, now after the advice you gave me, tinkered with the team a little bit..

Lets try this:

BACKS: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Duigan/Toy, Hibberd, Lower

MIDFIELD: Swan, J.Selwood, J.Kennedy, Anthony, A.Krakouer, Heppell/Swallow/Harris/Bewick

RUCKS: Sandilands, Cox, Smith, Bailey

FORWARDS: N.Riewoldt, Green, Rioli, Higgins, Yarran, Knights, Richardson/Darling/Matera/Dixon(or Mckernan here)

+ 98,100

- Really like the backline, rookies to change come round 1 teams announced perhaps.
- Kennedy will break out this year, watch this space. Anthony to break into a top line midfielder this year.
- Bailey will play if fit, simple as that.
- Risky? i know! Higgins will come back to the player of 09, Yarran is merely a good invested cash cow, Knights (see Yarran).
- Would like to keep some cash in the bank to upgrade a player come round 3/4/5 comes around.

Thoughts?

I like it. But im by no means a guru. The premium/rookie strategy is one ive used for a few years thats all.

Backline is pretty much exactly like mine, so I have nothing to pick there.

Midfield is good too. Like the variety and Josh Kennedy is no spud. Ive gone with Nathan Foley as my roughy.

Thats my ruck line exactly.

Forwards have ruined my theory this year since I cant come to big conclusions on the gun forwards. But yours look pretty good too.

Its basically the same stock standard team for everybody.

 

[Nothingman11]

My potential round 1 team

Back: Goddard, Gibbs, Grimes, Duffield, Otten, Heppel, Stanley (Duigan, McKernan, Puopolo)

Mid: Swan, Judd, Hodge, Foley, Swallow, Bennel (Conca, Irons, Harris)

Ruc: Sandi, Cox (Smith, Charman)

Fwd: N.Riewoldt, Chapman, Rioli, Jurrah, J.Grant, A.Krakouer, Gamble (Petrie, Matera, C.Richardson)

constructive critisism muchly apreciated

 

[DamoESP]

Well, after a bit of tinkering I've got my team for Round 1. While I don't really get into this too much and don't really research too many of the rookies, and like to pick "favourite' players, I think this team will go OK:

Backs: Goddard, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Hunt J, Otten, Heppell
Toy, Duigan, Puopolo

Mids: Swan, Selwood, Gibbs, Boak, Gaff, Hibberd
Swallow D, Harris D, Atley

Rucks: Sandilands, Jolly
Petrie, Smith Z

Fwds: Riewoldt N, Pavlich, Rioli, Higgins, Watts, Krakouer, Richardson
Matera, Darling, Smith I

A few surprises in there, but I thought I might as well take a risk! Peoples thoughts? Would love to provide other posters with my thoughts of their teams, but Im afraid the Supercoach gods will smite me down! haha

i like the rucks; i've got bailey on the bench though.
jurrah could be your point of difference but j.grant too risky, better options out there, knights/yarran...
strong midfield but foley as a roughie could hurt
backline similar to most but duffield is a bit left-field but i guess he's considered a keeper in some people's book.

 

[liam_13]

B: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Enright, Grimes, Otten, Hibberd (Puopolo, Duigan, Toy) Fairly standard backs, no real risks there

C: Swan, Murphy, Bartel, Griffen, Swallow, Heppell (Harris, Atley, Smith)
Got some work to do here, would like Selwood instead of Bartel, but don't think it is possible

R: Cox, Jolly (Smith, Keeffe) My big risk so far, no Sandi. Confident in Cox to be close to him, and for Jolly to get around low 90s.

F: NRiewoldt, Franklin, Brown, Green, Jetta, Krakouer, Richardson (Matera, Michie, Darling) Weak forwards, I'm trying to upgrade Jetta to O'Keefe. Although, then I would have 3 out in rnd 5-Darling, Green, O'Keefe, 2 in rnd 4-Brown, Riewoldt, and 2 in rnd 6-Franklin, Michie.

Almost, settled.
Basically, I want to trade Bartel to Selwood, and Jetta to O'Keefe. I don't want to but I may have to downgrade Griffen Any ideas on how to get that?

As much as you want to take risks, don't get Josh Hunt. Not the most durable player, not a very high scoring player, and with a new coach who will blood new players, is not assured of a best 22 spot.
Other then that, good, stock-standard backs.
Good mids, like the choice of Boak. Is Gibbs in your mids as DPP.

Expensive rucks, but well worth it.

Noticed you don't have Buddy, is that because of money or Rioli and Pavlich sharing rnd 6 bye? He would be well worth it, most people don't think he had that good a season last year and he is still the 3rd most expensive forward. Higgins is always a risk, but one that could pay off. Watts is probably 30-40k too much, sort of in that mid range price. Think there are better options, for around 220k such as Astbury.

Rookies seem fairly common, watch for rnd 1 teams. Can't seem to find many issues with the byes either.

Good team.

When you say rnd 1, you do realise GC have the bye so Swallow, Bennell and Harris will all be out?
Great to see a team full of risks, having Gamble, Krakouer and Petrie is possibly wasting money, but with forwards rookies seeming a little slim, might be a good idea. Like the inclusion of Jurrah and Foley, both could turn it on. Duffield is another selection that could win you game.

As for the rest of the team, especially other backs, all fairly common. Be careful rnd 1 though, might be worth getting rid of Bennell if Irons is named on an extended interchange.

 

[shaun1800]

OK, well let's try this then TigerGlory

Lets try this:

BACKS: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Broughton, Grimes, Otten, Duigan/Toy, Hibberd, Lower

With grimes and broughton you will be in some pain come the melbourne, fremantle, adelaide bye in round 16. That's why I traded broughton out for Bruce.

Thoughts?

Yarran is not a cash cow. If you buy him now, at his price, you pretty much have to keep him otherwise you're wasting a trade for about $100k profit. Definitely not worth it.

Same with Kennedy, I don't think he will be able to keep up with the top line SC midfielders like Swan, Judd, Ablett, Selwood, Pendles, Cross etc. Same could be said for Anthony, who again at that price, needs to become a keeper. I think he will easily average 95-100 as he has shown, however whether he can improve to get the extra 10-15ppg I'm not too sure.

Even Knights is a fairly risky one, to make the $150-200k that you're looking for with a cash cow he has to average the best part of 85 ppg. This from a player who is injury prone and has had injury worries in the pre season.

You seem to be changing your team around quite frequently.
